BoULANGER's FUTURE.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
LONDON, July 15-General Boulanger is high
ly elated over the devotion of the Paris popu-
lace which was manifested on the occa sion of
his departure, and again on the night before and
during the day Of the annual fets in commem-
oration of the fall of the Bastie, and in private
kilograms to personal friends expresses his
thanks for and appreciation of the demonstra-
tioE. 1t is great mistake to suppose that Gen.
eral Boulaneers isolation from the capital has
had the effect to despoil him to cool the ardor
of his admirers. Neither the one nor the other
of the governments purposes in banishing the
ex-War Minister to remote military post has
been successful and it now looks very much
as though the Cabinet fight for the proloDgation
Of its existence must hereafter be waged upon
the Boulanger issue alone, rather than upon any
of the questions arising from it's foreign or
fiscal policy. There is not the slightest doubt
that Boulanger hopes, and. indeed. confidently
expects. to return to Paris in triumph, and there
is nothing in the present situation of his as
between the Ministry and the people. to indicate
that his return would be impossible.
1t has transpired that the cavalry and infantry
on review at Longchamps were served with ball
that their use would be demanded by tho exi-
gencies which would arise. That there was no
disturbance and consequently necessity for
bringing into requisi ton the most drastic of the
governments precautionary measures is q fact
which caused more surprise than qualification
to the Ministry and of this there be no
doubt A hostile Boulanger demonstration that
could have been summarily put down by the
heavily armed troops the government had
equipped for that purpose would have been
most welcome event to the Ministry, as serving
the double purpose of overawine the adherents of
Boulanger and inspiring public confidence in the
stability and determination Of the present ad-
ministration.
The French press continues to accuse the
German embassy of being nest OF spies, and

into the condition Of Ireland, at Dublin, by
methods peculiar to himself He receives with
equal urbanity persons Of all claases and con-

the idea that he Is wholly unbiased

and Passed to Third Reading.
LONDON, July 15.-In the House of Lords,
this evening. Lord Northbrook, debating the
crimes bill in committee, expressed surprise at
the summary treatment which the bill received
in yesterdays debate. Before going further in
Irish legislation he urged the party leaders to
give the country definite answer to the Ques-
tions whether the Irish NJ III bers were to remain
in the Westminster Parliament, and whether
Ulster was to be treated separately. or in the
same manner the rest of Ireland. They should
also inform the country whether the duty Of
maintaining law and order in Ireland was to
be ntrusred to Irish Parliament, and lastly.
whether the power over the land was to be COM
mitted to an Irish Parliament.
Lord Rosebery contended that the discussion
of these points was entirely outside the scope Of
the crimes bill. and after q brief debate the bill
passed the committee without amendm snt. The
bill will be read third time on Monday next.
